Description
If you've ever run a forced-hot air heating system, it's not too hard to understand by analogy the basics of Network Systems. Of course,
your heating system needs a humidifier attached to it, but the humidifier in a state-of-the-art HVAC system only operates when the central
processor determines it's necessary, given information needed to calculate indoor relative humidity from the indoor thermostat, humidistat,
and outdoor thermometer.
Network systems are network-attached, computational systems that receive, process and transmit data packets.
The advances in high speed transmission technologies require high-speed link attachments that are able not only to receive and transmit
data at high speed but subsystems that store and process packets as well, at speeds that are equivalent to the link speeds.
The architecture
of network systems, i.e. adapters, switches, bridges, routers, etc., constitutes a new technical area that requires skills in computer
architecture, design methodologies, algorithm design and networking. As an emerging field, the architecture of network systems enables
a systematic approach for the definition and development of network systems, analogous to that of computing systems.
This book addresses
the need for a systematic treatment of the technical aspects of network systems architecture.
Audience
Practicing engineers designing the architecture of network systems; Graduate students in computer engineering and computer science studying network system design.
